I have a few questions if I may

Post by VonWulfen »

Hi all.
I have a few questions if I may.
1. How to tell if an APC has troops loaded or unloaded.
2. How to change the box size for "On" map artillery, mortars etc?
3. Is there a linear arty command for laying down a wide smoke screen?
4. How to make Inf take the exact line i set for movement?
(I am trying to get them to cross a corn field and stay in cover behind a building as they advance but they keep taking roads around the corn field instead and putting themselves in the line of fire.)
5. Is there a command radius indicator (so I stay in the C&C zone)
6. Is there a way to display all movement lines for all vehicles at the same time?
Cheers :)

1. How to tell if an APC has troops loaded or unloaded.

There's the icon top-right from the APC. The game manual has the explanations (4.27. Unit Status Symbols).

2. How to change the box size for "On" map artillery, mortars etc?

Currently the on-map target area dimensions cannot be adjusted.

3. Is there a linear arty command for laying down a wide smoke screen?

Not really, you need to create the fire mission manually.

4. How to make Inf take the exact line i set for movement?

Change the SOP 'pathfind' option. If you want them to stay in cover select 'cover'. If they should go straight select 'short'.

5. Is there a command radius indicator (so I stay in the C&C zone)

When a HQ unit is selected you see the blue HQ radius.

Go to the options menu and set 'waypoints' -> 'show all', or use the hotkey shift+W.

Does this game have Hot seat play? Notice it has a AI but no PBEM.

No multiplayer at the moment.
